This has been a lengthy debate and if at all, then activating wifi
by default should only be done on devices without any ethernet.
LinkIt Smart is a devboard and Ethernet may well be attached, but
there are examples of consumer systems without any Ethernet port
which are useless unless wifi is enabled by default.
Most recent debate is here

LuCI is shipped with OpenWrt releases by default, but not in the
development snapshots.

All those other things are installable using 'opkg' on the running
system. Or you may use the ImageBuilder to build images with software
of your choice preinstalled.
